Murdered ByPreiudice.

Thousands of men die every day who
might be saved. Prejudice has murdered
many man and woman. IL it were 5s-
Heved that the sum of disease could be re-
duced by physic much would be gained.
The nightmare of death would not brighten
Us as it does. In orr modern cultivation
we ought reasonably to expect disease to
settle upon us because we do so much to
attract it; because we so often and so
steadily expose ourselves TO it. AT the
same time we all ought to understand, as a
part of our redimentary education, that to
save ourselves from the effects of such ex-
posure some kind of fertilization should
be built around our vital forces lest the
enemy carry us as, it were, by sudden
onslaught. For many years the uupre-
JUDGED have used BIaudreth's Pills in this
way and they have proved most effective
wall against the approach of disease. Stop
the daily murdeTs-we had almost said
suicides-by using these Pills. They
speak for Themselves they act. When
every thing else has failed Brandreth's
Pills have saved lives. They are to be had
at every drug store.

cheaper prices to the consumer; but the

General Grant on the Terms at vicksburg.


General Grant on the Terms at Vicksburg.
In the August Century is printed for
the first time a letter by General Grant on
the above topic, from which the following
is an extract: General Pembreton, being
Northern man commanding a Southern
army, was not at the same liberty TO sur
render an army that a man of Southern
birth would be. In adversely or defeat he
became an object of suspicion, add felt il.
Bowen was Southern man all over, and
knew the garrison at Vicksburg had to
surrender or be captured, and knew it vas
best to stop further effusion of blood By
suTrendering. He did all he could to
bring about this result.
Pemberton is mistaken in several points.
IT was Bowen that proposed that he and A.
J. Smith should talk over the matter of
the surrender and submit their vie VS..
Neither Pemherton nor l objected to ac-
cepting such terms as they might propose.
In short time those officers returned.
Bowen acted rs spokesman. What he said
was substantially this: The Confederate
Army was 10 be permitted TO march out
with tie Donors OF war, carrying with
them their arms, colors, and field batteries.
The National troops we're then 70 march in
and occupy the city, and retain the siege
gurs, small arms not in the hands OF the
men, all public property remaining. OF
course, rejected the terms atonce- ala
agree, however, before we separated, to
write Pemberton what terms would glvp.
The correspondence is public and spelks
for itself. held no council OF war. Hos
tilities having ceased, officers and men
soon became acquainted with the reason
why. Curiosity led officers of rank-most
all the general oficers-to visit my head
quarters with the hope Of getting some
news. / talked with them very freely
